Louisville’s sixth man Luke Hancock didn’t need any time to warm up in the first half of the 2013 NCAA championship game. He came in and scored 16 first-half points, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc.

If it weren't for the 6'6" wing's scoring, Louisville might have gone into halftime facing a double-digit deficit. He finished the game with 22 points, adding another three-pointer in the second half.

Hancock's championship game performance helped him win the Final Four Most Outstanding Player Award.

4. Udonis Haslem: Florida (2000)

Udonis Haslem was a blue-collar beast on the 2000 Florida Gators team that made it to the NCAA title game against the Michigan State Spartans.

Haslem was a decent scorer (11.8 points) and rebounder (5.1 rebounds) during the regular season, but he exploded in the title game. He went off for 27 points on 10-of-12 shooting from the field and a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor.

While the Gators came up short, this was a fantastic breakout game for Haslem and a launching pad for the rest of his career.

It's easy to be overlooked among all of the legendary UCLA players during the John Wooden era: Lew Alcindor, Bill Walton, Gail Goodrich, Jamaal Wilkes.

Steve Patterson was a solid player who began his collegiate career as Lew Alcindor's (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) backup. In fact, one of his claims to fame was that he was the Bruins center between Alcindor and Walton.

Patterson absolutely took control of the 1971 championship game against Villanova, scoring 29 points and grabbing eight rebounds for the Bruins.

Spike Albrecht came into the 2013 national championship game having averaged 2.2 points and 8.1 minutes per game. But the 5'11" freshman had a miracle first half, putting up 17 points on 4-of-4 from beyond the arc.

When Michigan's star point guard Trey Burke went to the bench with two fouls in the first half, Albrecht stepped in and started firing. He acted like a seasoned veteran who had been in many of these kinds of big-time games.

Though Albrecht didn't score any points in the second half, his shooting performance in the championship game was unlikely and unforgettable.
